Nice. That's awesome. I was able to pull off one round on my honeymoon and played Poipu Bay in Kauai. Kapalua is definitely on my list though.bflynn1 said:I get to play Kapalua in March when I go to Hawaii. They have a package that includes 3 rounds. Two are at The Bay course and one at the Plantation course. I'm excited and humbled that I'll get to cross the Plantation course off the bucket list.
So you guys played the course they are playing this weekend? They always go waaaaay under par there. How is it playing as a regular amateur golfer? Tough with the elevation?

I have not played it, played a different one, but from what I understand the plantation course, which they are playing and bflynn referenced is a fun, wide resort course that can play tough with wind. There are a lot of elevation changes, so I am sure there are some tricky shots for ams.The Juggler said:Cliffy6745 said:

The course I played, Poipu Bay is where they held the grand slam of golf thing they used to do where the 4 major winners play. Pictures of Tiger and Phil and all all over the clubhouse and all. Was cool.

He was always going to play this and maybe I am just being paranoid, but I don't love this. Some chilly tough mornings on a rough course can't be great for the back. Regardless, if he's gonna win again, he'll have to play these types of courses. Just kinda prefer he get back into the swing of this in places like Scottsdale.The Juggler said:TORREY

It's not easy. Played it a couple times about 18 years ago. Lots of elevation changes and wind. And on 18, there's a marker about where most tee shots go. It's at the top of the hill and the green is within sight. I think the marker said "No way" or "good Luck". Anyway, my tee shot landed right near it and I decided to go for it. Swung way too hard and jacked it left into the brush. Good times.The Juggler said:Cliffy6745 said:

Yeah I'm playing the Plantation course in March. Never been before so not sure what to expect. I do use a range finder with slope so hopefully that'll help me with the elevation changes a bit.Cliffy6745 said:

Why do the graphics on this rerun of last year's tournament look like they're from 1983? Are these the graphics they really used last year?0

i was lucky enough to play the plantation course on my honeymoon. Such an amazing golf course all the way around. I was actually there the week after the pros played so the course was in immaculate condition. Watching whales breach in the distance while hitting a golf shot...no comparisonCliffy6745 said:

My takes for this year
Rickie wins a major. DJ wins another.
Jordan and JT don't but both have good years
Rory wins a tournament or two but continues to be inconsistent.
Cantlay breaks through and becomes a household name.
Koepka has a horrible year.
Tiger doesn't win but has a number of top 10s and is in the mix on multiple Sundays. And here's my hottest of hot....plays in Paris and the US wins a tight one. Phil and tiger are the captains picks

Dustin Johnson is a beast. Nice to see Pat Perez continue his great play.
Dustin should never lose at this course.

It should be a great year. So many contenders. Ryder Cup. And having Tiger back just elevates every tourney he plays in.My Tiger predictions are:
1) Win at Torrey Pines.
2) Will start the day in one of the three final groups on Sunday at Augusta.

Agree with all this except pat Perez. Ever since he made comments about tiger I thought he was a douche. Not because I think everyone has to like tiger (far from it), but for the simple fact this guy who’s done nothing on tour decided to take a shot when the greatest ever was at his lowest.

People who actually will say what is on their minds will get themselves in trouble sometimes. It is nice to see someone succeed who isn't a PGA robot.bbiggs said:
